NATICK, Mass., May 14—
Prime Computer Inc. said it would cut 800 jobs and require workers to take vacations, some without pay. A company spokesman said most of the 800 jobs would be eliminated through attrition. The company employed about 8,700 people as of Dec. 31.

Prime Computer will require all employees to take four weeks vacation during 1991, with a goal of forcing workers to exhaust much of their unused vacation time. Prime has cut its work force by more than 3,000 since it was acquired in 1989 by the New York investment firm J. H. Whitney & Company.
